for churn has some parents worried. we'll tell you why this "early" worried. we'll tell you why this "early" morning september 25th, 2009. captioning funded by cbs good morning and welcome to "the early show." i'm harry smith along maggie rodriguez. the iranians always full of surprises announce overnight they have a second secret nuclear development site. more on that in just a couple minutes. >> and we should say julie is not here because she had her baby. yes, she had her baby yesterday. we want to congratulate julie and her husband. they had a little boy as you all know. we now know his name, charlie. i love it. you know what i think? i'm not sure, but knowing jewels, i bet she took chen and leslie and made charlie. >> what's our part?

>> we'll have to ask her. >> we're so happy for them. it feels so much love from out there. talk about a development deal. all right. first, we're learning more about a number of on going terror investigations across the country. stunning new charges have been announced against 24-year-old najibullah zazi. armen keteyian is here with details this morning. about. >> reporter: good morning. when it comes to fighting terror in this country, the plot has definitely thickened. and the biggest case the u.s. government put some big cards on the table against undocumentedly the prime suspect. court papers paint the darkest picture to date of the terror plot tied to najibullah zazi. and a small gripe of company conspirators. charging him with con spir racy to use weapons of mass destruction. as evidence, the government played some of its hand in the case. receipts and videotape timed assist zi and unnamed others to

the purchase of large quantities of hydrogen per robs side and acetone from beauty supply shops around denver. common chemicals found in household products, but also used in powerful explosives in several terrorist attacks like the 2005 london bombings. prosecutors say they detected acetone residue in the vent would have the stove? a kitchen of a hotel suite zazi rented 60sing he was mixing component there is. and wiretap calls where zazi appears frantic, repeatedly reaching out to another individual, seeking to correct mixtures to make explosives. zazi's father was ordered freed until his next hearing while in brooklyn, new york, the third man charged, a local religious leader, was released on bond. >> i was raised in the same house that you see. is this my land. this is my country. and i love this place. >> reporter: the court papers

make numerous references to con spir are aer tos in the case making it almost certain more arrests are on the way. >> we've got lots of questions we want toe go through this morning. clearly this guy has been under surveillance for a while. they have wiretap, everything else. how long has the fbi had this guy in their sights? >> our sources are telling us law enforcement have had zazi on their radar screen going back at least two years and certainly with the fbi within the last several months he's been you said a very close watch. >> the other question that comes up over and over again on this, are the others that are involved, some are calling them the 12 disciples. to authorities know who they are or where they are? >> they definitely know who these 12 disciples are. if you were going to think in terms of a family tree, they have zazi at the root. they have these 12 disciples in the ring around him. what the fbi is now trying to do is to identify the individuals who are tied to those 12 disciples and see if they can tie them back to zazi. >> so we've got this guy in a hotel room, he's cooking up this stuff. they've got him going to these

places trying to purchase these toxic materials. how close was he, this is just theory now, how close was he to actually perhaps pulling something off? >> well, i think it's safe to say that zazi was a man on a mission. he had that 30 hour nonstop drive across the country from aurora, colorado to new york city. in the wiretaps, he has this frantic tone of voice. in the new york city raids, they found these 9 to 12 backpack, brand new. that's a signal. they found an electronic scale. that's a signal. he was searching home improvement websites when he was in new york looking for about him making materials. and also had this sort of chilling comment, i'm on my way to a wedding and i have the ingredients for a cake that is al qaeda terror speak for a pending attack. >> very quickly, up a kell other arrests in the last 24, 36 hours or so. first the one in springfield, illinois. how is this so much different than zazi? >> it's very, very different. this is one of the cases where the fbi was in on this very

early undercover informant, they basically took michael finton and they walked him right up in front of the courthouse in illinois. these are sort of aspirational cases. they're not operational. >> this one and this one then in texas, as well, where the arrest took place in. >> absolutely. the one in texas with the 640-story black skyscraper supposedly a part of the plot to blow it up, these are cases where the fbi closely watched, nothing really was going to p happen. >> armen keteyian, thank you so much. joining us now from washington is the former head of homeland security tom ridge who has just written a memoir called "the test of our times." and governor ridge joins us this morning. good morning, sir. >> good morning. >> so many people calling this najibullah zazi and his cohorts this whole plotting as the most credible threat since nim. as we look at this unfold, should we be assured that the

security system is working or should we be concerned that it ought to be working better? >> i think there should be some sense of concern about the possible existence of an al qaeda cell or cells within the united states that has been bob mulller's greatest concern for several years now. and i think there should also be a sense of satisfaction that ever since president bush directed the fb iflt to become the chief counter terrorism agency within this country that during the course of the past couple of days we've seen the effectiveness of their surveillance, the effectiveness of their investigation, and ultimately the effectiveness of their work. >> one of the questions has come up over the last couple of days, was there a real disconnect between new york city police and the fbi? fbi said we wanted this guy to ghoi longer. the new york city police got involved with this informant from queens. flushed him out earlier than they wanted to. at the same time, when do you

know when to pull the trigger so to speak? this guy was clearly very involved and it sounds like he was on the verge of doing something quite disastrous. >> i think that's a very important question. you've got to build an evidentiary chain to prosecute these individuals, but you have to take to a point it's pretty clear to me that this individual being under surveillance and his cohorts for send yeven year, yo to the tipping point. you got the explosive material purchased, everything that looks more and administer likely a potential london plot, new york city, g-20 in pittsburgh, general assembly at the united nations. i don't think they could could have gone much further. and the collaboration between the fbi and new york city police force is probably some of the best in the country. >> secretary ridge, we thank you so much for taking the time to be with us this morning. now here's maggie. we want to get to that breaking news this morning from the g-20 economic summit where

president obama and world leaders are meeting in pittsburgh. this morning the president and two key allies are accusing iran of a major escalation of its nuclear program. cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plante is covering the summit and he has the latest. good morning, bill. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. the president today is raising stakes in the west battle against iran. today the president himself is going to say that the iranians have built a secret second laboratory to enrich uranium and he'll call on the international atomic energy agency to inspect this new lab immediately and for the iranians to allow it. this may make it easier for him to get the sanctions, the tougher sanctions, that he's been asking for. the economic meeting which is here today, the president has leaders from 20 different countries. meanwhile, americans are split in their opinion of how he's hamming the econoham i handling the economy here at home. in a new poll, president obama's approval rating of the economy

has fallen from 53% last month to 50%. but when the question is who has better ideas on the economy, he gets much higher marks at 53% than the republicans at 27%. today mr. obama is host to the g-20 summit of major economic powers. twice as many americans, 41%, think the economy is the country's most important problem as think it's health care, just 19%. the president a and first lady welcomed world leaders to dinner thursday, the third time they've gathered in the year since the financial meltdown. with things now looking a little better, they'll discuss ways to regulate and stabilize banks and financial markets. it's a political plus for the president to show he's on the case. >> he won't have a big win to talk about. there won't be a great ceremony of success, but he will show in charge and in command on the issue that people care a great deal about. >> reporter: also on the plus side, his approval rating remains the same at 56% and people are beginning to give him

credit for the stimulus making the economy a little bit better. >> bill plante in pittsburgh. thanks. as expected, hundreds of protestors were there to greet the g-20 delegates on thursday and by the end of the night, more than a dozen of them had been arrested after a number of skirmishes with police. susan koeppen is also in pittsburgh this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the city has prepared for the worst. some of the stores have been boarded up for days now. and protestors have been hit with a massive police presence. the arrests are adding up as confrontations with police ran into the night. >> let him go, let him go! >> reporter: during the day, police set off pepper spray forcing marchers and the media to flee. >> i order all those assembled to immediately disperse. >> reporter: so we just got through this little alley way here and caught up with the protestors. they're not giving up. they're continuing their march. they're just taking a different

route. hundreds had gathered on thursday without a permit, determined to march to the convention center where world leaders are meeting. >> there is no freedom of speech in this country, there is no right to assemble, these are all rights that have been violate dad. >> reporter: their cat and mouse lasted less than two hours before police in riot gear brought this march to an end. >> we hope we sent a clear message that we aren't going to tolerate any unlawful activity. >> reporter: more protests are planned for later today. police say they will be ready. maggie? >> cbs's susan koeppen, thank you. right now it's time for our first check of your friday and weekend forecast. here's dave price. good morning. good morning to you guys. >> yahoo!. >> yahoo! is right. the weekend is upon us. it is the nation's heartland, everyone, that's seeing some rain and as take you a look at areas like arkansas no to missouri, into illinois, there you see a good bunch of rain

enough to go around? let's ask dr. jennifer ashton. so let's be very clear. we're talking about children's tamiflu. which is different from adult it tamiflu? >> thaerg. children's form is a different dosage and strength and it also usually comes in liquid or suspension form. because off you off cussly it's easier for children to that that versus a pill. >> so what is this shortage of children's tamiflu mean if a kid who night need treatment? >> we have to be clear, about about your doctor prescribes tamiflu for your child, most likely you will be able to get it in either the liquid or the pill form, however, in areas of the country like the southeast where we're seeing very high numbers of cases, we are seeing relative shortages and just earlier this month, the swiss drug maker who makes tam flu announced that it's shifting its production focus to include more focus on the pills which are faster an easier to make versus the liquid. so there might be a relative shortage of the liquid form. >> but we've seen h1n1 most pre-dom nabtsly in kids, so what if it they do run out? is there an option?

>> there are a couple. number one, the pill form can be compounded or make ma to in n. to a pediatric dose, but that gets in to a decemberage issue which has been confusing but parts need to ask the pharmacist and the doctor to be sure they're giving the rice dose because it can be confusing even for physicians. >> and we should also say that not every child who gets h1n1 needs tamiflu. >> that's correct. and most children recover on their own with just rest and plenty of liquids. >>. >> reporter:. thanks. let's grow to russ mitchell at the news desk. good morning about. the u.s. military reports five more american service members killed in afghanistan. four soldiers died yesterday in the southeastern province of sab bull. three in an armored vehicle hit by a bomb ppd a. the recent jump in u.s. combat deaths is forcing strategy changes. the u.s. commander says the top priority must be protecting the

preview ahead this morning. also ahead this morning, a new medical study finds children who have been spanked regularly actually have lower iqs. very interesting study. dr. jennifer ashton will be along to tell us about that. but fist, backlash is growing against mckenzie phillips, her shocking story of rape and incest at the hands of her father, john phillips of the ma'am mass and the papas, has sparked a fill phillips family feud. in the media blitz to promote her new memoir high on arrival -- >> i thought to myself, oh, i am so screwed. i'm going g ting to hell. >> reporter: her allegations are dividing those close to her. among her supporters are half sister china, friend and former co-star valerie bertinelley bee dr. drew pinsky who oversaw her rehabilitation in the latest season of his reality show celebrity rehab with dr. drew. >> i know mackenzie to be practicing a rigorous program of honesty. 14e8d not be sober right now if

she were not be completely honest all the time. she may have had distortions about that we also relationship, but there's no doubt whatever happened severely traumatized her. ♪ on monday, monday >> reporter: there are others who question mackenzie's claims. her stepmother says whether her relationship with her father is delusional or not, it is an unfortunate circumstance and very hurtful for our entire family. her half brother also weighed in. >> i don't know if these agencies are true or not. they're very surprising to me. >> reporter: >> in watching mckenzie phillip, i was worried about her, she seems like a person who is still tremendously tortured by her life experiences and who can blame her. but i would not say that she's out of the woods yet. >> joining us from los angeles this morning is former america's next top model contestant lisa d'amato who became friends with mackenzie phillips when they were both part of celebrity

rehab. good morning. would you say that you and mackenzie became close friend whens you went through rehab together? >> yeah, we became close. we -- i'm involved in music, so we got tied together through conversation with music. >> so that's when she first told you the story about this incest months ago. when she told you you, what was your reaction and what was her demeanor? >> when she told me, it was actually in a group therapy session with dr. drew, so there was other people that were also there. but she did express, you know, in a very emotional manner about her father, not into the detail that she did on oprah, but it is very true and genuine and it's been a huge weight on her shoulders for years and years and years and years. and i know that she's very, very happy because she feels like, you know, a weight has been lifted off. and she feels like she can finally continue her life and prosper in her adult life. >> here's something that a lot

of people don't understand. it's one thing to mention something like that in a rehab situation and deal with your demons that way in a group therapy situation. but why go public with this? some people would say she just wants to sell more books. >> i mean, here's the thing. like nobody can actually say like what they would do or if this is right or if this is wrong because i don't know anybody who has gone through or had the life that she has. and i know that it is something that has just been weighing on her for so long. and, granted, she is a celebrity and, yes, she is selling a book, but in the long run, she was sober for ten years and then she had a stint relapsing about nine months ago. and i think that the last rehab, us in rehab, i think, you know, it was a validation of her sobriety that's going come for the rest of her life. and i just -- you know, she wants to make money just like the rest of us. i don't really think that the

book really has anything to do with it. it's more about, you know, therapeutically getting -- just being honest with herself and everybody else because she is a public figure. so it was just her way of explaining and moving on, i think, you you know. >> lisa d'amato, thank you so much for your time. now let's go back to dave for another check of the weather. good morning. good morning. let's go to the maps right now, see what's happening. soggy times. it looks like the nation's heartland got around an inch or two of rain yesterday. places like arkansas and missouri. now it begins to shift eastward into the tennessee valley, into the ohio valley. you'll get the same inch to two inches of precip rolling in your direction. pittsburgh right on the cusp. as we head into tomorrow, it looks like you'll see rain as we head through that g-20 weekend. turning wet as we head into tomorrow some these locations. again, as this system begins to advance. now let's widen out the maps. let's go another area of concern. it's california inland sections.

were not across both age groups. a subtle difference, about five points, but, again, this was something that got a lot of attention. >> wow. so is there and at friday abuse here? >> well, as usual when we look at these types of studies, we look for good methodology and actually this was just association. they obvious didn't do a cause and effect. but the association was enough. >> with a about socioeconomic factors? >> they controlled for that, they controlled for the educational level of the parents, the income. >> those point, that doesn't feel significant. >> i don't think it's going to keep anyone out of college, but, depend, the more we learn about the impact of things like spa spanking, the more things like this will be researched. >> so had my parents not beaten me regularly on the behind, could i have been a genius? >> i could have been a con ten d der. off i didn't sayly we know there's societal and cultural impacts. my mother got out the wooden spoon, my father took his belt

days. i had covered my windows with blankets because the sun hurt my eyes. >> reporter: after days in bed, she got up to try to shower. she looked in the mirror and was stunned. her skin had turned yellow. >> and i ended up passing out and i threw up in the toilet and i hit my head. >> reporter: she got herself to nassau university medical center's emergency room. once there, she was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit. >> i've never seen a yellow patient like this in my life. >> reporter: dr. sandeep mehrishi and his team ran countless tests and determined that her liver wasn't working. her kidneys were beginning to fail and her red blood count was dangerously low. >> we know that we are losing her fast and we have to do something really fast. >> there were tons of doctors that kept on coming in. i don't even remember their faces. there were just so many of them. >> reporter: she was dying before their eyes and nobody could figure out why. >> she was seen by

gastroenterology, she was seen by nephrology, she was seen by infectious diseases. really we had all our services seeing her. >> reporter: three days after being admitted, another doctor, dr. steven walerstein, was called in. >> i came into this office and there was a little note in my desk that said there is a young woman sick as hell in the icu, could you please take a look at her. >> i told him go ask somebody else because, you know, they all have my history. >> i was struck by the fact that they were going down one avenue and we needed to step back. >> reporter: her symptoms matched a rare disease dr. walerstein had learned about years earlier. he checked out his hunch in the medical library. >> i remember having this feeling that, my god, this is what she has. >> reporter: he had solved the mystery. krista had wilson's disease, an extremely rare ib hair rited disease that affects only 4 in 100,000. wilson's disease causes too much copper to accumulate in the liver and when the liver shuts down, the copper releases into the system, destroying red blood

cells and other organs like kidneys. the exact symptoms krista had. >> and then we had the diagnosis and then we had to act and get her somewhere that they could get her a transplant if possible. >> and the doctors had given me 48 hours to live unless i had a liver become available. >> reporter: and it did. a fatal accident provided an organ tone l. dough nor who was a match. i have definitely made a full recovery. my family calls me a miracle child. >> this was unbelievable. how are you feeling now is this. >> pretty good. >> i felt i was walking on water for a long time afterwards. >> and the miracle child, chris take la sinky who wrote about her and other this is her new book, every patient tells a-story. let me ask you, first, what's it like to be a patient who is in the hands of people who are supposed to know exactly what's wrong with you and take care of you and have them not have any

idea how to help you? >> it's crazy. it's from using traiting at first. but when you're as sick as i was, the sickness takes over and you have to put it in their hands and let them do what they're good at, what they're there for. >> were you optimistic that it would work out? >> yes, i guess so. but obviously i was so sick, i did not know what was going on. i know my entire family was there and it was definitely a big struggle for everybody. >> you were this yellow. why did you wait to go to the hospital? >> i wasn't that yellow at the time. i had first looked in the mirror and i saw my face a yellow color. and then the whites of my eyes were a little yellow. i didn't know that there was anything particularly wrong with

that other than, okay, maybe i need to go to the doctor now. >> thoo she have gone sooner, doctor? is this had one take away from this story in. >> well, i think that she told me when i first interviewed her that she might have gone earlier if she had insurance. but she felt like since she didn't have insurance, she wasn't sure -- she certainly had no idea how sick she was. and i think her impulse would have been to go to a hospital sooner, but she had financial considerings. and it's important to know that lack of insurance does kill people. there's a recent study showed 45,000 people a year die because they don't have insurance. fortunately she wasn't one of them. >> and maybe the sooner you go to the hospital, the sooner they can take care of this and curb those costs. because it's only going to get more expensive the sicker you get, right? >> absolute lir. ap-i think because she waited so long, she was further along than people expected, so that was really an important problem in figuring out what was going on with her is that she was so --

the destruction of her liver had happened and the downstream consequences were so devastating. these doctors really hadn't seen that before. >> well, thank goodness that it turned out the way it did and thank good fls for doctor walerstein. >> yes. >> thank you. you can read more on these amazing cases in lisa's book on our website, earlyshow.cbsnew.com.com. up next, bb pi play is on a police to find new york's best street food when we return.

aside for charity, by allegedly pushing astor to change her will even as she suffered from alzheimer's. marshall's wife isn't on on on trial, but she's been described as a will lynn who strong armed her husband to get more of the inheritance. marshall and his wife denny charges and marshall says his mother intended for the money to go to him. >> i feel that the marshalls were extremely unfairly accused and this is a guy who had a mother for 82 years and he was a good son for 82 years. >> reporter: whatever the jury decides, the public airing of this wealthy family's dirty laundry will be a sad footnote for an extraordinary woman who not only knew famous people, but memorized the names of security guards at local museums. a woman who even in her last years always tried to be a lady. >> she would dress for dinner every nim even if she was eating on a tray. she would put on her makeup and

sanctions, something president obama has been urging for some time now. two key u.s. allies, britain and france, are joining with the united states to demand inspections and cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plante covering the g-20 in pittsburgh joins us now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president apparently has decided to do this because this is a good time to put some more pressure on iran. there's a meeting coming up on october 1st of the major nations, the five security council member, plus germany, for the first time the u.s. will have direct talks with iran. the iranian nuclear program is not on the table according to the iranians, but they would like very much the people who are talking to iran to put it there. and to get some pledges about slowing down that program. this will give them more leverage. and this is apparently why he's decided to go public with this now. the u.s. has known about it this for a while, harry. >> it's very interesting because iran came out this week and they sort of opened the door to some sort of inspections again.

they must have known this was coming down the pike. the other part of this is so interesting, president obama's meeting with president medvedev from russia, this whole notion that suddenly now there's an added piece of leverage in this puzzle that didn't exist before. >> reporter: not only the russians, but also the chinese. nobody really wants to see iran go nuclear in a weapons sense. but the russians particularly and also the chinese have commercial ties with iran that they don't want to lose either, so getting the russian president to say out loud that sanctions were a possibility was a big step. of course actually getting the sanctions may still prove to be very difficult. >> because they have had this conversation before, the russians have acknowledge that had this is a problem. it's got to be if these nuclear if a 1i789s, these new here to foreunknown thuk clear

facilities exist, got to be empa tuesday to more sanctions. also interesting that iranians were coming to town saying we really need more nuclear material because we want to use it for medical purposes. this sounds now like a bold-faced lie, it sounds like what they were really looking for, the nuclear material for, was for these secret 150i9s. >> reporter: the iranians have always maintained that their nuclear program was fuel for electricity production. now they've added the medical. but this particular facility is in a mountain buried hidden in a mountain 100 miles south of tehran near the holy city. and the president will call for immediate inspection of this new facility by the international atomic energy agency. the iranian, of course, are now a bit on the spot. they admitted the existence of this new facility, but only monday, and they call it just a pilot project.

>> this is so different to have happen in the middle of one of these g-20, because normally there's a lot of formality, there is some conversations about economic activity. you how unusual is this to have happen in the middle of one of these kinds of meetings? >> reporter: harry, to be perfectly honest with you, there's almost never major news out of these economic meetings. they are mostly all talk. in fact, they're saying now that instead of just having eight major economies, they'll make the g-20 the 20 economies the major source for the economic meetings. >> all right, bill, i think we've got the statement from the president now. let's take a look and a listen. >> good morning. we are here to announce that

yesterday in vienna, the united states, the united kingdom, and france presented detailed evidence to the iaea demonstrating that the islamic republic of iran has been building a covert uranium enrichment facility near kome for several years. earlier this week, the iranian government presented a letter to the ieae that made reference to a new enrichment facility years after they had started its construction. the existence of this facility underscores iran's continuing unwillingness to meet its obligations under up security con sill resolutions and ieae requirements. we expect the i after the ea to immediately investigate this disturbing information and to report to the iaea board of governors. now, iran's decision to build yet another nuclear facility

without notifying the iaea represents a direct challenge to the basic compact at the center of the nonproliferation regime. these rules are clear. all nations have the right to peaceful nuclear energy. those nations with nuclear weapons must move towards disarmament. those nations without thuk clear weapons must for salt sake them about that compact has largely held for decades, keeping the world far safe errands more secure. and that compact depends on all nations living up to their responsibilities. this site deepens a growing concern that iran is refusing to live up to those international responsibilities, including specifically revealing all nuclear related activities. as the international community know, this is not the first time that iran has concealed information about its nuclear ram. iran has a right to peaceful

nuclear power that meets the energy needs of its people, but the size and configuration of this pa silt facility is incons with a peaceful program. iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow. endangering the global nonproliferation regime, denying its own people access to the opportunity they deserve, and threatening the stability and security of the region and the world. it is time for iran to act immediately to restore the confidence of the international community by fulfilling its international obligations. we remain committed to serious meaningful engagement with iran to address the nuclear issue through the p5 plus 1 negotiations. through this dying log, we're committed to demonstrating that international law is not an empty promise, that obligations must be kept and the treaties will be enforced.

and that's why there's a sense of urgency about the upcoming meeting on october 1st between iran, the permanent members of the u.n. security council, and germany. at that meeting, iran must be prepared to cooperate fully and comprehensively with the iaea to take concrete steps to create transparency in its nuclear rap and to demonstrate that it is committed to establishing its peaceful intentions through meaningful dialogue and concrete actions. to put it simply, iran must comply with u.n. security council resolutions and haek clear it is willing to meet its responsibilities as a member of the community of nations. we have offered iran a clear path toward greater international integration if it lives up to its obligations and that offer stands. but the iranian government must now demonstrate through deeds

its peaceful intentions or be held accountable to international standards and international law. shy point out that although the united kingdom, france and the united states made the presentation to vienna, that germany, a member of the p5 plus 1, and chancellor america kell in particular, who could not be here this morning, wish to associate herself with these remarks. i would now like to turn to president sarkozy of france for a brief attempt. >> that's president obama at the g-20 in pittsburgh talking about this here to foreunknown nuclear facility that they have unveiled in iran, a facility that they say is inconsistent with the peaceful use of nuclear power. both president obama and gosh done brown and nicolas sarkozy in unison thunderstorm decrying the discovery of this nuclear facility. they'll be much more tonight on the krks evening news with katie couric. this has been a cbs news special report. i'm harry smith.
